New console any% catergory

I was wondering if anyone has considered a sort of pc route any % category for console to spice up any% on console because I feel it's sort of harder to get into due to how boring it is just clipping through 3 walls straight to the end.

So what if console got a new category or subcategory called pc route? I thought of this because of the new skip found on pc and I assume you can pull it off on console too.I think a new revamped any% could be cool.

Although I do think E.W.W could be argued for due to the cutscene clip being much harder to practice on console.

I know there's any% flight but that's more or less the same thing with some coin collection. Let me know what you think.

EWW cutscene clip isn't possible on switch, and the clip they use for hub 2 any% is unlikely to work on console without pause clipping. Pause clipping is pretty important for any%, but you're free to run however you'd like.

I'm not suggesting a pause clip free route, I'm just saying that the current is all about pause clipping straight to Capital B, where as the pc route requires a little more skill while moving around out of bounds which could be a fun console category. Just a suggestion

I'm more so confused on what the rule-set you are thinking of is. A category is partially defined by a ruleset. Any% is beat the game as fast as possible, any% w/ flight is that but having to get flight. I'm just kind of confused on what the ruleset you are stating here. You could always just find a route of your own and submit to any%, it doesn't have to be separated per say.

I don't run console, but you could try to figure out a category where pauseclipping is banned. Like a basic Any% (No major glitches) kind of deal that bans pause clipping. But you would have to figure out how to do EWW and a way to do Glide Clip on console. If I ever get a Switch to run YL, my thoughts would kind of be the same with this. I would prefer to run Any% where pauseclipping is banned as I kind of don't wanna do the same trick a few times with minimal platforming to get to the boss.

I think this is what ZeCookieMonstaa is thinking.

Yeah I just there should be something where people can run any% but have a more fun experience than just pause clipping because it's gotten to the point where I know people don't wanna run it due to how boring and stale it's become.
